Make the "D" large enough to be able to run a coupler through the "D" when there is already a hose through the "D". This is how large the factory ones are.2. The better option is to make the "D" from two 90° pieces. The ends not welded to the plate should be long enough to run past each other. Also where those ends overlap they should be separated enough that a hose can lay between them. If viewed looking down from the top towards the flat strap those overlapping ends are parallel to each other and separated by a hose width.When bolted to the loader arm, the "D" is parallel to the ground so the hose is guided along the boom. To install the hoses, hold a hose parallel to the ground push it between the two pieces of the "D" and rotate the hose vertical. Installing and removing hoses from this design is much faster and easier.</blockquote>
